The drama continues on Vanderpump Rules as the aftermath of Tom Schwartz and Raquel Leviss’ kiss plays out in the show. In a sneak peek of the episode, Tom Sandoval and Ariana Madix stand up for Raquel as Katie Maloney expresses her unfiltered reaction to her ex-husband’s action. Sandoval defends the kiss, stating that it was not a big deal, and clarifies that they were just two single people who decided to make out. Meanwhile, Katie asserts that the kiss made her not want to be friends with Schwartz following their divorce.
Ariana stands by Sandoval’s side in the kitchen while defending her stance on the situation. She concedes that it would be difficult for Katie and Raquel to be friends because of what happened. Katie retaliates by calling Raquel a “f—king whore,” prompting instant reactions from her costars. Ariana argues that Raquel did not get paid by anyone to do anything. Throughout the conversation, Schwartz interrupts and refuses to see Katie’s point of view, telling her that she shouldn’t be surprised by his behavior.
Offscreen, the drama has centered around Sandoval and Raquel’s affair, which led to his split from Ariana after nine years together. Since news of the cheating scandal broke, the Pump Rules cast has revisited apparent clues of the romance between Sandoval and Raquel. Earlier this month, Katie admitted that she found their friendship “suspicious” but didn’t “know for a fact” that anything was happening.
Scheana, on the other hand, claimed that Raquel was noticeably absent for several hours on her wedding day in August 2022. Sandoval, for his part, admitted that he and Raquel had already kissed before Scheana’s wedding. Eagle-eyed viewers were convinced Sandoval made a pass at the SURver during the Wednesday, April 12 episode of Pump Rules, in front of Ariana, as the group celebrated at the resort in Mexico. Vanderpump Rules airs on Bravo Wednesdays at 9 p.m. ET.
